1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Melanoma is one of the most aggressive skin cancers worldwide. Although there has been much effort toward improving treatment options over the past few years, there remains an urgent need for effective therapy. Immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy has shown great promise in clinical trials. Here, we studied the cooperative effects of the small molecule drug pimozide, which has a therapeutic effect in melanoma, and RNA interference (RNAi) targeting PD-1, an important immune checkpoint molecule involved in tumor immune escape. PD-1 siRNA was delivered by attenuated Salmonella to melanoma-bearing mice in combination with pimozide. Our results demonstrated that the combination therapy had the optimal therapeutic effect on melanoma. The mechanisms underlying the efficacy involved the induction of apoptosis and an enhanced immune response. This study suggests that immunotherapy based on PD-1 inhibition combined with anticancer drugs could be a promising clinical strategy for the treatment of melanoma.
